Get an inside look at the best PC gaming has to offer.

If you want a sneak peek at the universe of Defiance before its debut on the SyFy channel on April 15, then you can jump into the official massive online shooter game. Trion Worlds (the same studio behind RIFT) is collaborating with the Syfy Channel for Defiance—a shooter that takes place in the same transformed Earth competing for alien technology as the TV show. While you're getting caught up in epic open-world multiplayer skirmishes, you might be participating in an event that references a major story point from the show; or you might find yourself creating new narratives that impacts the show later on. Besides this constantly evolving, intricate link between media forms, Defiance also features player-vs.-player (PVP) and co-op gameplay, unlockable weapons, RPG-style character building, and an environment that changes constantly. Jump into this MMO shooter and experience the Defiance universe as a gamer today.
